My Project

I have had the Simply Charmed cartridge

since pretty much the beginning of my Cricut crafting,

but I have never used this cute peppermint candy cut.

I was happy to find some fun paper and sentiment stamps

to put this card together.

The paper is from American Crafts

as well as the "Candy Lane" stamp.

The "Christmas" stamp is from a Hero Arts.

I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday this week.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up

for our Christmas Card with Buttons challenge!!!

Decorate To Celebrate #90

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another challenge over at Decorate To Celebrate!!!

Today I have a fun project that I have been meaning to finishing for over a year...oops!!!

So my husband cut out these 2x4's from scraps we had lying around last year.

I finished it up by sanding the pieces then I used acrylic paints to coat the pieces then Mod Podged some fun pattern paper from Echo Park on the fronts.

I inked around the edges with Tom Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I used some wood glue to glue the whole thing together.

So easy!!!

I think it turned out great

and I am so happy that I finally finished it

for this year!

I hope that you will join us for this challenge and remember it's

Anything Goes!!!

BBTB2 - Christmas Tree Card

Happy Monday!!!

Can you believe it is December 1st?!?!

This month is going to be crazy,

will it be for you too?

Well, why not get a start on some cards by joining us

over at BBTB2 for a Christmas Tree Card Challenge?

I used Winter Woodland for this Tree Card.

I cut it out at 5 1/4".

The paper was an open stock 12x12 I picked up a few years

ago, but can't remember from where.

I tied a red ribbon around the side

and called it good :)

Doesn't get much easier than that!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
